Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate plumping and smoothing texture for your dry and sensitive skin, as hydrolyzed collagen and sodium hyaluronate provide hydration, while glycerin and trehalose offer humectant action and castor seed oil provides emollient benefits.
  • The inclusion of allantoin and various botanical extracts like lavender and chamomile further supports soothing and general skin health.
  • The product is safe for your skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

Questions and answers

How well does Patchology FlashPatch Rejuvenating Eye Gels work for dry sensitive skin?
